CUT&RUNTools 2.0

A tool for bulk and single-cell CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag data processing and analysis

Overview

CUT&RUNTools 2.0 is a major update of CUT&RUNTools (link), including a set of new features specially designed for CUT&RUN and CUT&Tag experiments. Both of the bulk and single-cell data can be processed, analyzed and interpreted using CUT&RUNTools 2.0.

Main Features

Single-cell data analysis

raw data processing in parallel
quality assessment and visualization
feature-by-cell matrix construction
dimensionality reduction and clustering analysis
cell-type-specific pseudo-bulk data analysis

Bulk data analysis update

supporting spike-in sequence alignment and data normalization
options of experiment for CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag data analysis
flexiable option for fragments selections (>120bp)
supporting different peak calling strategies
new functions for peaks annotation
compatiable with more computational platforms

Installation and Requirement

Please refer to Installation Instructions.

Bulk data analysis

FAQs:

MEME does not work (well discussed in issue 20, issue 15, issue 2)
potential solution: re-install MEME with either command
```
conda config --add channels defaults
conda config --add channels bioconda
conda config --add channels conda-forge
```

conda create -n meme meme=5.0.5 python=3.7 conda activate meme

conda create -n meme python=3.6 conda activate meme conda install ‘meme=5.0.2’ ‘icu=58.2’


If it still does not work well, you could try to install MEME manually ([issue 7](https://github.com/fl-yu/CUT-RUNTools-2.0/issues/7)). Please make sure you used the correct version, some users reported the latest version of MEME was not compatible at some points.
